Installation tipps

Hi,

I am wondering if someone of you guys have installed the ck-300 manually (ie without a "professional fitter")?

anyone can assist me?

I have Seat Ibiza (newest model) with standard radio. I already got quadlock cable adapter, so it would be just plug and play...

Greetings

Installation Audi A4

I also have an Audi A4 2005. How did you install it? Is your stereo (Concert) prepared for handsfree or did you just connect it on the back of the stereo.

BMW E87 with professional radio

One question... I bought a BMW 118d, but did not include bluetooth options due to price.. this seems like a good, far less expensive system.. But.. Is there any way I can use this interface to display the caller's name (as in phonebook) in my car radio? If so, I don't even need a cradle for the phone!

Not compatible with LD-2 GPS receiver

Although the CK-300 has the socket for the LD-2, it is not compatible with it.

CarMenu and Playlist Mp3

Hi,

I have the ck300 in my 9-3ss MY2003, installed by the dealer, very professional, they were able to manage to mantain the OEM microphone from Saab and works incredibly well, he says better than using the nokia micro.

After that, I use it with the Nokia 6110 navigator. I installed the nokia maps, and now I have the route66 and the Nokia maps.

I have a minor problems with the kit. I add some mp3 through the nokia PC suite and ordered them with a Playlist(m3u file), the Nokia PC Suite converts all the files in m4u.

Well when I use the CarMenu in the music player its impossible to play the playlist, there isn't any option of "playlist" in the menu as it says in the guide.

Anybody knows what happen?? where is the problem??

cheers

rich1068 Didn't go too well. The handsfree etc is excellent but I'm starting to wonder if the fitter was an idiot. No streaming music yet because 'it won't work on Saabs'. Second opinion tomorrow I think. I do have to say that 'Car Menu' is very, very good though.

Yeah. That has some very interesting shots that are quite enlightening.

Thanks.

Anything you're after specifically? It's going into a 2008 Saab 9-3 and their audio wiring is notoriously quirky.
Nothing specific, but :

1) a photo of each bit in the box; we've seen the bits the user deals with, but I'm wondering about the other bits - I imagine there's a box that sits in one of the foot wells or behind the stereo/etc
2) photo of the unit in place...if you can get one that shows how the wires are connected, all the better, but I imagine that is best done with writing.

Thanks.

See if you can get some photos of the heart of the system - the bits that go 'behind the scenes' - and how they connect to the various bits in the car (head unit/etc).

I'd be interested.

Thanks,

Max.

Nokia Maps issue witch CK-300

Hi. Based on this nice review I bought the CK-300, and it is really very nice, but it has one big issue I can't find a solution for. If I hear to my usual radio, or MP3 from a CD-Rom, and do Navigation at the same time with Nokia Maps, the navigation voice is not working. Neither is it muting the audio or anything. I can only hear the navigation voice, if i play MP3s over the player of the N95 which is connected via bluetooth and is running Nokia Maps. Then I can even hear the navigation voice, but the music is that loud that the voice is only hardly understandable. Has anyone the same problem or a solution? The guys at nokia forums are not very responsive at that question...
Cheers, David
